Bound for Glory

Adapted from celebrated folk singer and social activist Woody Guthrie's autobiography, Bound for Glory centers on a few pivotal years during the Great Depression. Midwesterner Guthrie plays music locally but can't earn enough as a sign painter to support his wife and children. With only his paintbrushes and guitar, Guthrie joins the migration westward from the Dust Bowl to supposedly greener California pastures via boxcar and hitchhiking. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Music, the film was nominated for four additional Academy Awards, including Best Picture. (PG, 147 min.) Cost is $9 for the general public and $5 for students. A full pass (admits one to all screenings in the Monday Night Movies series) may be purchased for $50.
